Worst Dialogue from the OT.

Han's line about the Kessel run should have been fixed because the use of "parsecs" makes no sense (it's a unit of distance).

It was once subtitled to 40 lightyears here on TV which doesn't make anymore sense, LOL. Those subtitles were classic.

I don't like Veers' speech in Vader's chamber at all because it looks like the actor (not Veers) just shitted in his pants and the speech is too robotic. A little weird for Julian Glover.

"I saw security footage of Anakin.......... KILLING YOUNGLINGS!"

I'm sorry but for some reason, Ewan McGregor's delivery of this just seemed flat out awful to me, which is surprising since he's a good actor. He seems to put his hand on his mouth to smother a laugh, like he's thinking "Why am I saying this?" Natalie Portman's reaction is a bit much as well. It seems like something out of a sitcom where you're supposed to laugh since the character's flat out lying.

It's also very bad storytelling (what a surprise), since we first see Anakin starting to kill them, then we se Obi-Wan watching the footage, then telling about him seeing it and later Padmé tells it again to Anakin. The security footage to me was a ridicilous thing anyways, too earthy except they had to do something and make it a hologram, how's that suppose to be better than in 2D?

The two musical transitions to the Imperial fleet in The Empire Strikes Back as John Williams intended was nice to hear restored.

Oh yeah, and the one when Slave I escapes.

Sorry if I've missed something but which scene are you referring to?

During the celebration where they shake hands, if I remember correctly.
